I. What you Need to Know About Press Release

I know that almost anyone of us knows what press release is, but for those who do not know, it is a written statement to highlight an important event,program or a piece of information. It is different from a sales letter, but it sounds like an ad. It provides good information that is helpful and also answer the 5W questions: what, who, when, where, and why.

When planning for your press release, the first thing you need to consider is, do you want to sell your own product or sell someone else’s product. Once you know the answer, then you need to consider also what keywords or keyword phrases you want to rank high upon search engines. It is important that you know your keywords or keyword phrases so you can include it in your press title.

Always remember that if you have a lousy press release, you won’t make sales even though you have a good traffic. But regardless of how good your offer and copy are, you won’t make any sales if you have no traffic coming in. So it is important to work on these two aspects: make a quality press release and have a good traffic coming in your site.
